Spain Residency & Mobility — Beyond the Former Golden Visa
Spain remains highly relevant for global families and entrepreneurs, but the strategy must now start with the right residence category rather than a property-investment visa.
Spain abolished its investor residence visa with effect from 3 April 2025. The country remains a strong mobility destination through other lawful pathways, including non-lucrative residence, digital-nomad residence and entrepreneur routes where the applicant meets the relevant requirements.
